Claude Code: ask. ### `recent_cfr_changes` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. - The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Most recent detected changes to CFR text (title, part, name, dates), newest first. No API key required. ``` ### `rules_amending` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. - The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Which final rules amend a CFR part or section, read from each rule's own amendatory instructions ("Amend ยง 52.2120 by..."). Returns the rules, the sections each addresses, and dates. This reports what a rule SAYS it amends โ€” it is not an attribution of any observed text change to that rule. Covers 2020-present; absence means not indexed, not that no rule amended it. No API key required. ``` ## Only reads (8) Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow. ### `get_provision_history` - The name "get_provision_history" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Documented change history for a CFR provision by canonical id (e.g. "21-cfr-1304.04(a)"): before/after text, computed redline, observed dates, and candidate final rules. 404 when the provision is not in the documented-change set โ€” absence of a documented change is not a claim that nothing changed. No API key required. ``` ### `get_requirement` - The name "get_requirement" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Detail for one extracted obligation by id, including its source rule and citation URL. Requires an API key. ``` ### `get_rule_comments` - The name "get_rule_comments" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Public comments for a Federal Register document (organization, title, date, body where available). Coverage is partial and stated in the response. Requires an API key. ``` ### `get_stats` - The name "get_stats" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Aggregate corpus statistics: documents, obligations, pairs, agencies, coverage dates. No API key required. ``` ### `list_obligations` - The name "list_obligations" says "list": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text List extracted regulatory obligations ("who must do what") with filters: agency, deontic class, free text. Obligations are machine-extracted with quality tiers; they are not legal advice. Requires an API key. ``` ### `list_rules` - The name "list_rules" says "list": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text List Federal Register documents with filters: agency slug, document type, rulemaking pathway (interim_final/temporary/direct_final = notice-and-comment bypass classes), or docket id. Requires an API key. ``` ### `lookup_provision` - The name "lookup_provision" says "lookup": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Look up a CFR provision by citation (e.g. "21 CFR 1304.04") or by an exact quotation, optionally as of a past date. Returns the provision text with a ProvisionEvidence object (source, snapshot date, hashes). Explicitly reports ambiguity or no-match instead of guessing. Requires a free API key. ``` ### `search_regulations` - The name "search_regulations" says "search": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Full-text search over Federal Register documents and extracted obligations (FTS5/BM25). Totals are approximate (total_exact: false). Requires an API key. ``` ## Claude Code permissions For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `regulatory-research`: ```json { "permissions": { "allow": [ "mcp__regulatory-research__lookup_provision", "mcp__regulatory-research__get_provision_history", "mcp__regulatory-research__get_stats", "mcp__regulatory-research__search_regulations", "mcp__regulatory-research__list_rules", "mcp__regulatory-research__list_obligations", "mcp__regulatory-research__get_requirement", "mcp__regulatory-research__get_rule_comments" ], "ask": [ "mcp__regulatory-research__rules_amending", "mcp__regulatory-research__recent_cfr_changes" ], "deny": [] } } ```
